Jaipur, Jul 12 (PTI) Four Rajasthan Roadways buses were
set on fire in Kuchaman city of Nagaur district, which has
been tense since a gangster was killed last month, police said
today.

The incident took place yesterday at a bus stand, where
the buses were parked for the night. Nobody was hurt,
investigating officer and head constable Hukma Ram said.

A hunt was on to nab the accused who are yet to be
identified, he added.

Nagaur district has been tense since June 24 when
gangster Anandpal Singh, on the run since September 2015, was
gunned down by the police in Malasar village in Churu.

The gangster's family, backed by the Rajput community, is
yet to cremate the body. They are demanding a CBI inquiry into
the encounter and permission for Anandpal Singh's brothers,
who are in judicial custody, to attend the funeral.

The SP of Nagaur said the body was kept in a deep freezer
at his house where elaborate security arrangement was made.

Police were allowing people to enter the village only after
verifying their identity.

The Rajasthan government has offered a SIT probe but
Anandpal's family is sticking to its demands. The Rajput
community is organising a 'shrandhanjali' rally in the slain
gangster's native village Sanvrad today.
